Plant extracts as “green” corrosion inhibitors for steel in sulphuric acid

In recent years, plant extracts have become the focus of corrosion inhibitor research due to their low toxicity, easy availability and economical preparation. This review presents most of the recent contributions made to the application of plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors for steel in sulphuric acid, as well as in both hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid. The constituents, properties, adsorption modes and inhibition mechanisms of these natural products are discussed. Evaluation methods and the factors that influence the corrosion-inhibition efficiency of plant extracts are also summarised.     

Simultaneous Determination of Four Active Components in Tobacco Wastes by LC

A liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of four major active components in tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum L.) wastes. Samples were extracted with 70% v/v aqueous methanol, four compounds including chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid and caffeic acid were identified and determined by using LC coupled to electrospray tandem mass spectrometry and LC–UV method, respectively. Separation in LC–UV was on an Alltima C₁₈ column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.; 5 μm) with a mobile phase consisting acetonitrile: ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) (5:95 v/v), at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹, detected at 327 nm. Four regression equations showed good linear relationships (r ² > 0.999) between the peak area of each marker and concentration. The method has good repeatability and precision, the intra-day and inter-day RSD for both retention time and peak area was less than 1.0%. The recoveries, measured at three concentration levels, varied from 96.33 to 101.10%. The LOD (S/N = 3) and LOQ (S/N = 6) were less than 0.010 and 0.795 μg·mL⁻¹, respectively. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of four active compounds in ten samples. The results indicated that the developed assay method was rapid, accurate, reliable and could be readily utilized as a quantitative analysis method for various of tobacco wastes.

     

维多利亚蓝B共振瑞利散射光谱法测定透明质酸钠

在pH3-4.5的HAc-Ac-酸性介质中,维多利亚蓝B与透明质酸钠作用形成结合产物时将导致溶液共振瑞利散射(RRS)大大增强并产生新的RRS光谱,其最大散射峰位于285.5nm处。透明质酸钠在0-5mg/L范围内与RRS强度成正比。据此,建立了一种新的测定透明质酸钠的分析法。该法具有高灵敏度,对透明质酸钠的检出限(3σ)为14.9μg/L;选择性也较好。应用于润舒氯霉素滴眼液和润洁滴眼露中透明质酸钠的测定,结果令人满意。     

不同形貌稀土掺杂Gd_2O_3粉体的制备及光磁性能研究

采用水热法,利用不同添加剂:柠檬酸(CA)、油酸(OA)、乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)制备出了不同形貌前驱物Gd(OH)3,并经退火得到不同形貌的Gd2O3样品(S-CA、S-OA、S-EDTA)。XRD图表明所制得Gd2O3粉末均为立方晶系(空间群为Ia3),并且不同添加剂所得粉晶的晶格常数略有不同:1.082 25 nm(S-CA),1.081 14 nm(S-OA),1.083 20 nm(S-EDTA);SEM图可看出其颗粒大小分别约为63 nm(S-CA),300 nm(S-OA),2μm(S-EDTA);红外光谱则进一步证明3种产物均为Gd2O3,并且不同添加剂下样品的基团振动吸收强度不一样;利用荧光光谱仪和综合物性测量系统测量研究了经不同添加剂所制备出的稀土(Yb,Er/Ho)掺杂Gd2O3的上转换发光特性及磁学性能,结果表明:样品形貌对稀土掺杂Gd2O3上转换发光强度和顺磁磁化率影响较大,其中由EDTA添加剂所制备出的稀土掺杂Gd2O3粉末的上转换发光强度和顺磁磁化率最佳。     

Resonance Rayleigh scattering measurement of aminoglycoside antibiotics with Evans Blue.

In a weak acid medium, some aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as kanamycin (KANA), gentamicin (GEN), tobramycin (TOB) and neomycin (NEO), or acid bisazo dye Evans Blue (EB) can only produce very weak resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) signals. However, when two agents react with each other to form ion-association complexes, the RRS intensity can be greatly enhanced and a new RRS spectrum with a significant enhancement of the RRS intensity in the wavelength range from 350 nm to 600 nm can be observed. The maximum scattering peak is at 570 nm. There is a linear relationship between the RRS intensity and the antibiotic concentration in the range of 0.01-6.0 microg mL(-1) at 570 nm. This RRS method for the determination of aminoglycoside antibiotics at trace-amount levels has been developed. The detection limits (3sigma) of the four antibiotics, whose order of sensitivity from high to low ranks as KANA > NEO > TOB > GEN, are 5.2-6.9 ng mL(-1). This method has good selectivity and has been successfully applied to the quick determination of antibiotics not only for injections and ear drops, but for clinic serum samples as well. In addition, the reaction mechanism by using a quantum chemistry method and the influencing factors of the RRS spectra and the enhancement reasons of RRS have been discussed.
